DESCRIPTION:
Frost said Fascinatingand. "Purgatory" was my first Ken Bruen novel. I had seen the "Jack Taylor" tv dramas and had enjoyed them, so when this book was offered on sale at Amazon I bought it.And entered quite a different world of reading. Fascinating , but at times, difficult reading. His style, with its interior dialogs with Taylor talking to, reproving, observing and despising himself, took a bit of getting used to, but once I did, I resolved to read every book I could get my hands on.Jack Taylor has every bad habit there is: smoking, drinking, doping, sneering, apostasy, cynicism and truth. H. "One Star" according to Judith Duncan. VERY affected writing style. One sentence takes three lines? Frustrated poet, perhaps?. The Jack Taylor series is a winner! Love Iain Glen as Jack Taylor. And good read, and plenty of humorous moments.
Edgar-finalist Bruen's excellent 10th Jack Taylor novel (after 2011's Headstone) finds the Irish PI looking upon the sights of Galway with now-sober if ever-wistful eyes—but a serial killer wants him to come out and play. A Dexter with an Irish lilt C33 had honed the art of reprisal in the States, an equal killer land of opportunity. Signing invitations to Jack as C33, the mysterious figure inflicts vigilante justice on other murderers and scumbags. Bruen maintains his trademark hip references and highly poetic style, but fans expecting the usual are in for some shock therapy, as he busts out one series-changing surprise after another. For once, with a possible new woman in his life, Jack isn't interested, and stays aloof from the crimes, much like a soul lost in purgatory. Spitzer Literary Agency.

Yet this fragile existence is threatened when a vigilante killer begins targeting the scum of Galway, signing mysterious notes with the moniker 'C 33'. C 33 is Bruen at his best: lyrical, brutal, and ceaselessly suspenseful.. Recovering from the severe mental and physical wounds inflicted from his recent past, former cop Jack Taylor has finally found a modicum of peace. Yet if Jack has learned one thing living in Ireland, it's that people who outwardly claim to be on the side of righteousness are likely harboring far more nefarious motives beneath the surface.With the help of his friends, former drug dealer-turned-zen master Stewart and dogged police sergeant Ridge, Jack is determined to track down C 33, even if it jeopardizes his livelihood, his friends, and the remaining shreds of his sanity. The killer addresses these cryptic letters to Jack, trying to goad him into joining the murderous spree.While Jack tries to unravel the mystery and motives of this dem
